Pelagic Safari Yoga Retreat

    

I am excited to offer a totally unique opportunity to combine a guided daily yoga practices with an unforgettable immersion with raw and untamed nature. This time of year is mating and calving season at the Sothern Baja Peninsula. Humpback Whales frolic on the Pacific coastline and Females teach their calves on the Sea of Cortez side. On some occasion they become curious enough to approach us and seek an underwater encounter. Each excursion will be led by knowledgeable professionals with the upmost respect for their environment.

Our day will start with morning asana, followed by breakfast. We will have two half days, one morning and one sunset, and one full day on the water. Our professional dive masters will situate us around different Pelagic species for close viewing. This is the height of the Humpback Whale season, so their presence has been predictable. It is also common to see Grey Whales. In 2023, the colder waters brought them right into this region in their mating season. The action was quite spectacular. We do not pursue the whales but as we are in their environment, their appearance is probable. As our hosts La Mobula would say, “Expect the unexpected…”

The afternoons will include restorative and guided relaxation practices.

Prana del Mar has 2 beautiful Yoga Shalas as well as meditation room and stargazing rooftop on their beachfront private property. The facility is ‘off the grid’ which means there are no power lines, they are self sustained with well water, solar panels and satellite internet communication.

Their in-house massage therapist and chef are not an addition, but sought after for their quality and talent. Meals are included and massages are by appointment, a la carte.

In all, this is a retreat for a real soul reset experience.

Additional activities are available for the more adventurous, such as kayak, tour, horse riding on the beach, and visits to local artisan towns.

I look forward to sharing this time with you on our whale inhabited Pacific beach.
